Url looks suss. Seems kinda sophisticated for the usual ups fishing scam. Here’s the text message I got leading here.

“Wishing you a bright and sunny day!” Lol, I almost want to help this guy by explaining that UPS and American companies in general have disdain for their customers and would never wish them to have anything that would not benefit the company.

    1. 3rd party URL shortener, immediate red flag
    2. Non-USPS.com domain once you tapped it (which you shouldn’t have)
    3. National service sending from a South Carolina area code instead of a short code or a toll free number
    4. Does USPS even have your phone number tied to your delivery address?

      That also doesn’t look anything like a USPS tracking number (which, if this were real, you’d probably already have). Pro-tip: USPS has “informed delivery” where they’ll send you an email every day with scans of your mail and any packages on their way to you. Which would give you another way to know that this isn’t real.
